The Maud Granger Season at the
Grand Opera House.

Coming Attractions-Uncle Toms Cabin
The Bijou Company-Theatrlcsl News
The old-time scenes of the South in slav
cry days no longer exist. Those historic
days are a thing OF the past, but the Bos
ton Double Uncle Toms Cabin, to appear
next Friday evening at the Grand Opera
House. will bring you back on the old plan
tation. The good old songs OF the days
gone by, the plantation Jubilee festival and
old-time dances will all be true to life, and
a picture of the Sunny South will appear
before yon in all its realism. The Denver
run OF opening night continues, and stand
ing room only can be obtained when the
curtain rises. The Double Uncle Toms
combination has proven quite a success,
and is pronounced by all to be the best
presentation of the play ever given in this
city. TIT specialties are new and varied,
and afford much amusement. There is q
double presentation of characters and the
effect is remarkably good. The enterprise
is e~xcellently managed and the combina-
ton is deserving OF the unparalleled sue
cess with which it is meeting"
Miss Maude Granger closed her engage
ment last evening in a repetition OF "Frou
Frou." To the theater goers of this city.
Miss Granger has, by her artistic perform
ances, given a pleasure that cannot be
readily forgotten. Financially, it would
have been a very large success, also, had
the star appeared in some new plays, or
had che at least confined the performance
Miss Granger plays the roles of Camille"
Cora and "Frou Frou," yet tho stories
are threadbare, and Miss Changers talents
should be devoted to higher work For in
stance, why does she not produce "Antony
and Cleopatra which admits of magnif-
cent stage settings, fine acting and emo
tional acting to as much an extent as it is
certainly more poetical than the modern
society play.
The Interstate bill, in it's effects, is being
felt near home. Nellie Boyd closes her
season next Saturday night at Boise City.
She was en- route to Montana, but having
a more expensive company than at any
previous season and considerable special
her going further at the Increased expen-
diture. Miss Boyd returns to her orange
grove near Los Angeles, where she will rest
during the summer.
Maguire's Comedy Company are making
a very successful tour of the Territory.
They appeared during the past week at
Virginia City, and during the coming week
will visit Wickes, which is now one of the
~liveliest of the outside camps.
Mr.. Chas. Chapelle and Miss Lottie
Beaumont. are en- route from San Francis
co to join Magnire's Comedy Company.
The 6ijou Opera Comic Opera Company,
twenty-five people, will shortly appear at
the Grand Opera House. The prima
donna Miss Adelaide Randall has a great
as a lyric artist. James
Peakes who is the greatest "Gaspard' on
the operate stage is also a member of the
company.
The skating rink in Helena which will
hold over 1900 people will be converted
a theatre 10 be run at popular prices.
Yesterday evening at the close OF the last
at the Grand Opera House,
Mr.. Germaine, the manager of Miss Maude
Changers company, announced to the
members the close Of their season. The
principal cause, he stated, was the excess
high railroad fares he was now com
PEELED to pay owing to the exacting pro-
OF the Inter State Commerce bill.
There were others, however, among which
may be mentioned the long jumps the COM
pany would have to make, there being no
available for playing in between
here and Portland. The members separate
in various directions, chiefly to New York
and San Francisco. Mr.. and Mrs. Ger
will proceed via Portland to the
after place, where they will spend the sum-
ner, and may play a short season at
Baldwin's Theatre if circumstances are
avorable.
